Landmarks

Landmarks — posts, hydrants and other scoreable spots — are the heart of Top Dog. Marking them is how you earn REP and win the match.

Marking

Stand within range of a landmark and press E to mark it. Marking has a short channel time (about 1.5 seconds), during which you can't act and can be interrupted. Once you hold it, you accumulate REP for as long as you keep your mark.

• Range: you must be close (around 50 px) to start a mark.
• Channel: ~1.5 s cast — you're vulnerable while marking.
• Interrupts: a stun (bark), knockout, or getting knocked out of range cancels it.

REP rate

Landmark	REP per second
Standard post	1.0
Premium / contested landmark	1.5

Premium landmarks pay out faster but tend to be central and contested, so expect to fight to hold them.

Contesting turf

Posts can be re-marked by rivals, so leads are never safe. Late in a match, flipping a premium landmark can swing the result — coordinate your bark/tackle to clear a marker, then claim it yourself.
